VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I AM REPORTING A PROBLEM WHICH MAY RELATE TO ACCELERATION DUE TO COMPUTER FAILURE. MY 1991 CHRYSLER NEW YORKER REVVED UP CONSIDERABLY AS I SAT IN NEUTRAL AFTER TRAVELING AT 45 TO 50 MPH FOR 7 HOURS. I WAS DRIVING FROM RICHMOND, VA TO ALBANY, GA AND SETTING THE PACE FOR A RENTAL TRUCK ON A VERY WINDY DAY. IT ONLY HAPPENED ON THE ONE DAY. I NO LONGER OWN THE CAR. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:FUEL RAIL
I OWN A MINT CONDITION 1993 CHRYSLER NEW YORKER WITH 68,000 MILES ON IT. LAST WEEK THE ENGINE STARTED LEAKING A LARGE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE FROM FUEL RAIL ONTO THE TOP OF BLOCK AND ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I SAW WHERE A RECALL CAMPAIGN WAS ISSUED TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY CONDITION SO I CONTACTED THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. HE ADVISED ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND WILL NOT BE REPAIRED UNDER SAME. HOW CAN THAT BE?? IT CLEARLY STATES ""1993 CHRYSLER NEW YORKER"". NOW HE ADVISES ME THAT THE COST TO REPAIR A LEAKING FUEL RAIL/O-RING WILL BE $536.00. THIS IS CLEARLY WRONG. I NEED SOMEONE TO INVESTIGATE THIS DEFECT. *NM
